We at Military Kids Connect want to provide you with information to help you care for our military youth. Our goal is to enhance military kids’ quality life and help them prepare and cope with significant transitions such as relocations, parental deployment, and family adjustment after injuries. We designed our videos, activities, resources, and an online message board to normalize the experience for military youth, with an emphasis on education and peer support.

Encouraging Peer Support

Message board – Our message board offers a safe place where military youth can post a topic or ask questions to start a conversation with peers. The message board meets the Child Online Privacy Protection Act regulation by not collecting personal identifiable information. A subject matter expert reviews all posts before publishing them to remove personal or security information. Our moderators also screen posts for possible bullying or predatory type of posts, and remove users considered harmful to the community.

Social media communities – For teens, Military Kids Connect is also on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram.
